During the fast, we do not eat or drink anything," he says.
The actor adds that you are also expected to have a positive attitude during these days.
"Emotions like anger, jealousy, sadness are discouraged during roza. At dusk, when the evening call for prayer is announced, we break our fast by eating dates and drinking water. This time is called Iftar. A regular roza day is usually spent praying and reading the Quran, along with doing other activities of day-to-day life," he says.
Arhaan Khan has featured in the fiction drama "Badho Bahu" as well as the reality show "Bigg Boss 13."
